Film.com -
Harron's adaptation of Ellis's novel is brilliant, probably better than the book itself.

Bateman could have been much more interesting if he'd been played by someone who wouldn't need to work quite so hard (Charlie Sheen or Rob Lowe might have been fascinating here).

Chicago Reader -
The slick satire cleverly equates materialism, narcissism, misogyny, and classism with homicide, but you may laugh so loud at the protagonist that you won't be able to hear yourself laughing with him.

New York Daily News -
The real highlight is when Bateman and his co-workers compare custom business cards in a grueling, ego-shattering game of one-upmanship that is so linked to their sense of self it might as well be Russian roulette.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Christian Bale is heroic in the way he allows the character to leap joyfully into despicability.
